I cant tell you how many times I have heard the words " You are such a Martha Stewart" (haha) I just love crafting, diy, painting, sewing, and home decorating. It gives me great satisfaction to look around my house and say " I MADE THAT!"

Can a Girl Ever Have Too Many Shoes?

  I made this pattern a few weeks ago for ballet slipper flats for my daughter Abigail.  So far I have only made two pairs, but I can honestly say I am in LOVE! I want to make her a new pair of shoes for each outfit she owns, which would be a lot of shoes! LOL

Denim Pair (made from a pair of her brother's old jeans)

From Becoming martha pictures

I also made her a matching headband

Khaki Pair (made from a pair of her old Khaki pants)

Sleeping babies are the best Models ;) I added a strap so They would stay on better.

I used one of my husband's old shirts he never wears to make her a cute dress! I have 3 more shirts play with! I just love REPURPOSING old clothes! What projects are you working on?
